Larry, I can't be sure, but it sounds to me like you need to go into the settings of Airport Express and forward a port. You will access it through your browser with an IP address that you will have to read the documentation to find. I can't tell you what it is because I don't use it. I very much doubt that the problem is in the OS10 fire wall, but if you want to be sure you can turn it off until you get this squared away. As long as you are behind the Airport express, you are protected by nat.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Wanger" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 4:34 PM Subject: FW: ports, firewalls and questions
